Default where can i get and 8x10 wheel for my raptor?

i know this is stupid and I'm sure I'm not looking for the right thing, bu i have a set of haulers for a 400ex i want to put them on my raptor. so I'm looking for wheels to mount them to and the ones they are on appear to be a 8" heigh and 10" wide. the only size i can find is a 8x8.5 for my raptor. will these work or will it look ridiculous? or where can i find the size wheel i need? the haulers are 21x12x8 and i measured the wheels with a tape from inner lip to inner lip not edge to edge.. if that makes sense. help me out guys

DWT or ITP don't have the size you want?

Seems counter-productive, most people go from 8" to 9". But anyway, you could run some Blaster wheels, but they're not going to be 10" wide. Those 12" tires will work just fine on a 8.5" wide wheel. I'm not aware of any 10" wide factory wheels. Don't forget most 8" wheels will require 8" hubs, as 9" hubs have a different bolt pattern.

I took a set of Honda wheels to my local machine shop and had them drill new holes to fit a LT250 Suzuki. I also brought them the Suzuki hubs. I now have a set with a dual pattern. It was a while back so I don't recall what they charged me. It wasn't too much and was cheaper than new wheels.

Here is a bunch of wheels. I see a 10x8 size available.

"most people go from 8" to 9". Nobody does that. Like the raptor and 400ex, alot of factory wheel sizes are 9" . 9" tire sizes are very limited. That's why everyone goes to 8".
"Those 12" tires will work just fine on a 8.5" wide wheel" I will agree that they will work fine. A lil narrow but fine.

8" tires are very limited compared to the 9", around here we give 9" tires away at Halloween and birthday parties. I mean, 9" wheels go way back to the mid 80's - all 250r's, 350x's, 400EX's, Banshee's, Warriors, Raptor's and all 450's have 9" wheels. As for sport quads, the 8" wheels only came on the Tri-Z and Blaster and maybe the suzuki LT250.
